I believe (by head) that at least 50% of the team should be present. So hire someone for 2-3 weeks for the Crafty team living close to London. Never seen such a bad rule. I just heard from David that August 7 will be the final date for the decission to play on an uniform platform or not. David has not much hope. Meaning to say it is most likely everybody has to drag and spend some money again.
